Fall Essentials from C.O. Bigelow
C.O. Bigelow proprietor Ian Ginsberg is known for his ability to scour the world for the most sought after, effective skin and hair care formulations on earth and to bring them to the loyal customers at New York’s quintessential and oldest apothecary shop in America. A celebrity favorite, C.O Bigelow counts big names from all eras as fans including historical figures such as Mark Twain and Eleanor Roosevelt as well as modern stars such as Cameron Diaz, Kelly Ripa and Sarah Jessica Parker.
I must admit that when I lived nearer to the store and I loved to go in and sample new products and always walked out with something not available in other stores.
If you are in New York or even a native who has never been, it is definitely worth stopping in for a looksy at C.O. Bigelow. The salespeople are friendly, non-intrusive and most of all helpful. I never felt intimidated because they expect that you will try their products and ask a lot of questions, only because the selection of products is so diverse and most likely stuff you never heard of before.
Here are some of Bigelow’s favorities:
